Show your F-tax approval
F-tax approval means that clients do not have to deduct tax or pay employer's contributions on the remuneration.
Clearly state your F-tax approval
In order for your clients to know that they should not make tax deductions and employer contributions, you need to be clear that you are approved for F-tax.
By stating that you are approved for F-tax, the clients know that you are a serious entrepreneur who takes care of his accounting and payment of taxes and fees.
- State that you are approved for F-tax (“Godkänd för F-skatt”) on quotes and contracts
- Write “Godkänd för F-skatt” on every invoice
- Your name, address and personal or organization number must also appear on the documents
If you are approved for F-tax with conditions (FA-tax), it is especially important that you claim your F tax. That is, it is stated on the documents, otherwise your A tax applies.

Your F-tax can be withdrawn
The Swedish Tax Agency can withdraw your F-tax approval if you
- have failed to declare taxes
- have failed to pay taxes
- are prohibited from trading
- have been declared bankrupt
- have failed to pay refund claim for ROT or RUT
- have misused your F-tax approval.
Without F-tax approval it may be a problem for you to get new assignments. It can also be difficult to get a loan because lenders usually check F tax.
If you provide incorrect information about an F-tax approval, you do so under criminal liability according to Section 7 of the Tax Offenses Act.
